About Us
Probus Clubs are non-fundraising and non-service Clubs that operate for the benefit of providing “Fun, Friendship and Fellowship” for its members.
Recently the Probus Club of Bright held its 32nd AGM and elected its new committee for the 2024-25 Probus year. Only Ron Sibley, 94, retired Bright Shire Engineer and sole remaining foundation member, can boast of having attended every one of those AGMs.
In past years members have enjoyed numerous day trips to many of the region’s scenic, historic, culinary, and quirky places of interest with, of course, good food and fellowship along the way. We arrange theatre outings, lunches, picnics, and other social functions as often as we can.
Membership of the Bright Probus Club is open to both men and women.
Our meetings are held on the 4th Wednesday of the month except December, and are highlighted by topical and interesting guest speakers. Meetings commence at 10.00am, and are usually held at the Bright Bowls Club, Churchill Avenue.
Both new members and visiting Probians can be assured of a warm welcome at our meetings. Emphasis is placed on minimising formality and promoting fellowship.
